Go to www.mrspowell.wikispaces.com and look for the link on the right side that says Digital Stories. Click on it.

Pick any three videos to watch again. As you go through them, fill out the information below.

Name of first video:

Which elements (pictures, video, voice, text, soundtrack, etc.) are used in the first few seconds?

Write a description of the first few seconds here. Is it a picture, some text, just a voice? Give me a complete explanation, with the exact words if it was spoken, or a description of the picture and any text. If there is background music, describe it.

What do you think of the introduction?

Does it do a good job of making us ready for the rest of the story?

Does the soundtrack (or lack of it) fit the mood?

Which elements do you think could be changed to be a little better? You must choose at least one.

What might you do differently if this were your video?
